In allegation of Supreme Court scuffle, Wisconsin politics hits new low
How stupid/evil was Bill Lueders's attack on Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser?
Well, some background is needed. Wisconsin has some great college hockey teams. From peewee to collegiate level they do a greatly job of developing new players. Because this is Wisconsin the participants are subject to hockey rules.
Now back to the story:
This Lueders character published a story about a confrontation in Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley. He talked to three people so he must have had the whole story and instead published a one-sided piece defaming Supreme Court Justice David Prosser.
Since a Supreme Court Justice plays a referee role, this is "defaming the ref" and is a minimum of a 10 minute misconduct or a possibly a game misconduct.
Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley charged Supreme Court Justice David Prosser with her fists raised. Since this was peer on peer, we will treat them as "players" from a rule standpoint. Charging is normally a minor infraction but, "The infraction may warrant any severity of penalty or combination of penalties as the officials deem fit, including a major plus a game misconduct...". Since Bradley was the aggressor she receives at least a minor for "charging". She also gets a minor for "roughing" or a major (a five minute penalty) for fighting depending on whether her gloves were off. If there was an injury (which is not alleged) - she would deserve a major plus a game misconduct.
I suggest these penalties be enforced immediately.
